I used to take mine outside when weather permitted. When it was cool I would put them in a warm suit and put them in the exersaucer while I worked. I had kid sized earmuffs for the loud noises. Frequently they would fall asleep. Nap time was definitely the best time. Does your wife work or is she just on leave? Right now ,y youngest goes to daycare 3 days per week which usually gives me one or two days per week to work outside. Things will get better, but it is slow to happen.
